Founded in 1952 in France,
Radiall started as a family owned company making
coaxial plugs. Today, Radiall is an international and
global manufacturer of interconnect components
including
RF coaxial connectors and cable
assemblies
,
antennas
,
fiber optic components
,
microwave components,
and
multipin connectors
for the Automotive, Civil Aviation, Defense, Industrial,
Medical, Space and Telecommunications.
QSE (Quality Safety Environment) POLICY
Radiall maintains a quality management system conforming to international
standards, including for environmental protection.Our customers' recognition for
the quality of our products and the sustainability of our company, demonstrates the
efficiency of our quality system.
CERTIFICATIONS
Certified ISO 9001 since 1994, Radiall has a
pro-active policy in terms of conforming to
international standards. Today, all Radiall sites
are certified to
ISO 9001:2000
and some
dedicated activities are AS9100 or TS 16949. Our process approach gives us the
tool for continuous improvement in all our activities.
A major step in our environment policy was the
ISO 14001
certification in 2001 of the Voreppe plant. Radiall complies with
European directives such as
RoHS
for hazardous substance
restrictions and
EuP
for environmentally friendly designs for energy-
using products.
Some Radiall product lines are on
MIL, ESA/SCC
Qualified Product
Lists.
Radiall is consequently proud to be recognized by leading industrial
customers for the quality of its service and products.

DEFINITION
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
A coaxial termination is intended to terminate a coaxial transmission in its characteristic impedance. It is supposed to
dissipate the whole R.F. incident power; heat transfer is done by conduction or convection cooling.
II
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
In general, RADIALL terminations are designed in accordance with MIL and NF standards.
"
TECHNOLOGY
Coaxial terminations can be classified technically into 3 main types depending upon the resis-
tive element used.
D
High frequency and low power terminations use Tantalum nitride thin film deposits on
Alumina substrates.
D
High frequency and medium power RADIALL terminations use Tantalum Nitride thin film
deposits on Aluminium Nitride substrates.
D
High power RADIALL terminations use Ruthenium Oxide thick film circuits printed on alu-
mina substrates sticked to a sole of aluminium nitride as a cooling sink.
RADIALL has decided to remove Beryllium material from its whole range of medium and high
power terminations. Indeed, Beryllium oxide dust is highly toxic when scribing or machining or
laser trimming. RADIALL has replaced this material by aluminium nitride which has excellent
heat conductive properties and is absolutely safe for the environment.
"
MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS, MATERIALS AND FINISHES
All materials and finishes are in accordance with applicable MIL and NF specifications.
All connectors used in our terminations are in accordance with applicable MIL DIN NF and CEI
specifications.
All dimensions in this catalogue are given in inches and (millimeters). The non-specified dimen-
sions are given within
¦
0.5 mm.
"
MANUFACTURING AND QUALITY ASSURANCE
Thin film and thick film circuits of RADIALL terminations are produced in-house, in class 10000
clean rooms, using advanced processing technologies. Our microelectronic laboratory uses a
tightly controlled and highly repeatable process, necessary to achieve consistent microwave
performances.
RADIALL maintains a state-of-the-art computer aided designed system, a well equipped preci-
sion machine factory, a modern component assembly area and an extensive collection of RF
test equipments.
Specific testing is available upon request.
